“Es sollte nur ein Magazin der Kunst in der Welt sein wo der Künstler seineKunstwerke nur hinzugeben hätte um zu nehmen was er brauchte” “There ought to be in the world a repository of art, to which the artist needonly bring his artworks in order to take what he needed” Beethoven, letter to publisher F.A. Hoffmeister, 15 January 1801

News alert: scientists are human “We related the reluctance to share research data for reanalysis to 1148 statistically signiﬁcant results reported in 49 papers published in two major psychology journals. We found the reluctance to share data to be associated with weaker evidence (against the null hypothesis of no effect) and a higher prevalence of apparent errors in the reporting of statistical results. The unwillingness to share data was particularly clear when reporting errors had a bearing on statistical signiﬁcance”. Not shared Shared Wicherts et al. (2011) doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0026828

Joint Data Archiving Policy (JDAP) Data are important products of the scientiﬁc enterprise, and they should be preserved and usable for decades in the future. As a condition for publication, data supporting the results in the article should be deposited in an appropriate public archive. Authors may elect to embargo access to the data for a period up to a year after publication. Exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the editor, especially for sensitive information.

What is the return on investment? • A rigorous framework is lacking  But we can look at comparators • Marginal cost of data archiving  $50/article is <2% of of publication costs (>$2.5K)  And 0.2% of grant costs/article (~$25K) • Is the data worth 2% of the research investment?  Using DNA microarray data in GEO as a model  2,711 submissions in 2007  Data reused by 3rd parties in >1,150 articles Vision (2011) Open data and social contract of scientiﬁc publishing.

Concluding thoughts • Archiving is essential • Journals and learned societies will be at least as important as institutions • Funders cannot be shy about policy, and must drive the marketplace • We can leverage for data lots of things that work well for traditional publications • International cooperation is a must
